Re: looking to change my 'sound'
<t>I failed at guitar in many ways, but I became the Icarus of Guitar Players with my obsession to make a guitar sound like an orchestra. I leaned too heavily on big, full chords, usually at the expense of everything else.<br/> <br/> That said, your first quest of changing the sound of your chords s...

Re: Did the Beatles write all their own songs?
<t>That's an impressive list Bear. <br/> <br/> In Greg Lake's "Songs of a Lifetime", he talks about asking Ringo Starr about the high number of hits the Beatles had. Ringo commented that every day, John and Paul both brought in songs they wrote the night before, and as Ringo put it, "they were invar...

Re: Acker Bilk - Stranger on the Shore
<t>Great job Dean - very melodic. Is that your arrangement?<br/> <br/> Nearly as good as your work is your selection. This piece comes right from the middle of downtown "Nobody saw that comin'"! My favorite place to select pieces. Great selection and a great job.<br/> <br/> David, I remember this so...

Re: An original - The Wrench
Well, I did not see that coming. I am both honored and humbled.
Wiley, what a marvelous job and what a nice piece. The Avian certainly does it proud, and with a flatpick, no less. I'm looking forward to hearing more from it - and about it.

Re: >>Target and Pay Per Lesson Teaser - Ruby’s Eyes by Tommy Emmanuel - Sneak Peek
<t>I admit I clearly prefer flatpicking to fingerpicking. I think one reason I developed better at flatpicking is because literally every piece I ever tried fingerpicking, I was also able to flatpick it. Not gonna happen with Ruby's Eyes, methinks. I'd be willing to give this lesson a go, and perhap...

Re: If you had to perform in public today, how many songs could you do?
<r>I'm in the 20 neighborhood right now. Looking at my sheets, I think I've learned about 120 over the last 6 years, and I think I've noticed something kind of weird. When I get into intensely working a single difficult piece, it seems to wipe my memory of the current repertoire.<br/> <br/> Jeff, ho...
